Horizon Now Offers the First and Only FDA-Approved Trifocal Lens Implant for Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is a safe and effective means of treating the symptoms cataracts, such as glare and blurriness. It is, however, generally accepted that patients will still need to rely on glasses after standard cataract surgery. Now, there is the Alcon trifocal IOL (intraocular lens) called the AcrySof IQ PanOptix lens that is significantly reducing surgery patients’ dependence on glasses. For those in search of a solution to both cataracts and poor quality of vision, Horizon Eye Specialists now offers this lens. Here’s more about it. 

What’s different about PanOptix? 

This new trifocal lens provides excellent vision correction by eliminating nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Less dependence on prescription and reading glasses can offer patients the freedom and clarity that was once unattainable after cataract surgery. 

Who should consider it?
